Title: Determination of vacancy mechanism for grain boundary self-diffusion by computer simulation

Journal Article · · Scr. Metall.; (United States)

This note reports efforts to establish the GB self-diffusion mechanism in a bcc iron /SIGMA/.5 (36.9/degree/) (001) (310) tilt boundary using the combined methods of computer molecular statics and molecular dynamics simulation to provide quantitative microscopic evidence in favor of the vacancy mechanism. 16 refs.
